Kudos to Derek, owner and Alex of the Santa Cruz Villa management team for their warm hospitality and patience! We greatly appreciate the team’s quick response to our requests for assistance. We hosted a family reunion for our very large family for 7 days. From the two fully equipped kitchens, comfortable bedrooms and baths, secure parking to the awesome rooftop kitchen and patio with a great view, the Villa was perfect for our family. It’s also a perfect location to Cowell’s Beach, Santa Cruz Pier and Boardwalk. The Santa Cruz Villa deserves a 10 rating.

Great place for corporate retreat/work project

plenty of space so comfortable for work retreats and projects. The house was super well stocked and so comfortable to cook in and hang out at the end of a long work day. We got a little playing in as well. Would recommend to anyone coming to work or play in Santa Cruz.

Do yourself a favor and stay here. If you are looking for a secluded place steps from the beach, shops, and restaurants, stay here. If you want a host who truly cares about your trip, a space that can accommodate both small and large groups, and an environment that is quiet and extremely clean, this is the place for you. Additionally, all of the beds were very comfortable. Btw the property is more comfortable and relaxing than it appears in the listing as well as the view form the rooftop. I could not recommend this stay strongly enough.

This was a beautiful property located one block of the beach! We had my moms 80th birthday with 20 families members ranging in age from 1-82.
